Woke up five days ago, Steel pressers on my lungs, Coughing up blood... Work is a no go, But not a "No Call, No Show" "Walt I'm going to the ER, I can't make it in, I'm sorry." He understood, and I got Bear to drive me to the hospital. Feeling nervous, but in a sense like I'm over-reacting. Then two IV's in my arm a few oxygen tests, and some x-rays of my chest. "Pneumonia..... and you developed asthma through cigarette smoking." At twenty years old, I had the lungs of a forty year old. I've been praying for a reason to quit. Wow... I'm amazed.... God sure does work in mysterious ways.
